There’s no safety in this school for your kids . DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE . This school does not care about kids safety at all!! We had to pull my nephew out due to bullying . The staff and principle are not helpful at all.

Disgraceful school. You can beg for months for your child’s disability to be recognized, talk to them about behaviors to expect, ask and ask for assistance with behavior plans or specific accommodations… and you will be ignored until the exact behaviors you talked about for months become “problematic” for them. They will suspend and give detention for nearly any reason, tell you that your child should just be able to act, think, and behave like the other children because they are a certain age. They’ll agree to help, sign a 504 (after 8 months of begging for help), and still suspend your child or give suspensions for the same exact issues they need help with.This is discrimination and targeting if I’ve ever seen it. My kiddo is a model citizen in every other area of life and in every other school attended, due to their ability to bring out the best in kids.I’ve watched videos and witnessed principal and front desk staff scream at children for misbehaving. The front desk staff screamed at my kid to get off his phone and threatened to take it in the office when I called about an emergency pick up and that I was there to pick up and be ready.The principal has screamed in kids faces and puffed his chest out while demanding that they follow his direction.Homework is a nightmare to figure out. If there’s death in the family or illness, good luck having an excused absence. Just a failure of a school. I wish I never brought my kid here.

As a parent, my experience with Ysabel Barnett Elementary has been extremely disappointing when it comes to supporting students who may need additional academic or behavioral support.Last year I raised concerns with both the principal and my child’s teacher about possible ADHD and asked for guidance on what steps I should take. Unfortunately, those concerns were largely brushed off and I was not given any recommendations, direction, or resources to help my child.This year, after speaking again with our doctor, we obtained a written medical note recommending that the school begin the evaluation process. Only then did the school acknowledge the situation, but we were told the soonest meeting would be near the end of April and that the evaluation process would take 60 days, meaning it would likely be pushed into the next school year and left for the middle school to address.It is frustrating as a parent to advocate for your child early, only to feel like those concerns were not taken seriously until much later. Families rely on schools for guidance when developmental or learning concerns arise, and earlier communication and support could make a significant difference for students who need it.I hope the school and district work toward responding more proactively when parents bring forward concerns about possible learning differences so students can receive support as early as possible.
